Verse from TiruppANAzhvAr's divyaprabandham

koNdal vaNNanaik * kOvalanAy veNNey uNda vAyan * en uLLam kavarndhAnai ** aNdar kOn aNi arangkan * en amudhinaik kaNda kaNgaL * maRRonRinaik kANAvE ...

He who has the color of the clouds as well as the nature of the clouds; who ,as Lord Gopala (Kovala alias Krishna) ,ate butter with His mouth; who has stolen my mind and
heart; and who is my immortal ambrosia- these eyes of mine ,that have seen Him , will never see anything else.

Thank you very much Rajani - your translation is just as beautiful as the words sung.

Shyama - I am sorry I forgot to credit ramanuja.org, where I got the translation from.

Also missed 2 phrases - "aNDar kOn aNi arangan" means "the lord of the gods, who resides in the beautiful Srirangam"

shyama-priya,
Rajani is well-versed both in tamizh and sanskrit. Her translations are excellent. She is a busy woman, otherwise she will be here more often.

Thanks Arasi - I am overwhelmed by your warmth.

The few minutes I spend at the forum everyday are vital for sustenance.
